Dr. Juliane Dame (Acting Professor of Urban and Regional Geography) and Prof. Dr. Kathrin Hörschelmann (Cultural Geography Research Group), together with Dr. Lena Laube (FIW) and an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary network of the Bonn Platform Forced Migration Studies, have received funding from the Transdisciplinary Research Area “Individuals, Institutions and Societies” (TRA 4) to implement a pilot project on “Co-Creative Research in the Post-Migrant Democracy.”
The six Transdisciplinary Research Areas (TRAs) are innovation spaces for research and teaching at the University of Bonn. They bring together leading researchers from across disciplines to explore key future challenges in science, technology, and society.
Building on a local network of academic and non-university stakeholders within the Bonn Platform Forced Migration Studies, the project uses selected case studies in two cities to examine how existing community initiatives can contribute to the democratic shaping of a post-migrant society.
In addition to Prof. Dr. Kathrin Hörschelmann and Dr. Juliane Dame, Dr. Anna Schliehe is involved in the collaboration with the University of Bonn’s Forum Internationale Wissenschaft (FIW), bicc (Bonn International Centre for Conflict Studies), the Hochschule-Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, University of Applied Sciences (H-BRS), the Bonn Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Learning (BIM) e.V., and the Halle-Neustadt Neighborhood Management Office (AWO SPI Soziale Stadt und Land Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH).
